Chapter 1
Discovery
During his English lesson, Sven went digging through his bag in search of his German-English dictionary and instead found a white notebook that he had never seen before. He pulled it out with his dictionary. Deeming his lesson to be unimportant, he opened up the notebook and cursed when he saw that there seemed to be an instructions page…written in English.
He debated for a moment before deciding that, even in English, the notebook was more interesting than his lesson. Completely ignoring his tutor, Mr. Roberts, Sven started translating the first page of the 'How to Use It' section.
After translating the first page onto a separate piece of paper, he read what he had written.
How to Use It
1
X The person whose name is written in this note shall be brought back to life.
X For the person to be brought back, the owner of the Life Note must know the person's true name and face. If they do not know the real name of the person, then the note will not take effect.
X However, if they do not know the persons face but know their name, then there is a possibility that someone with the same name will be brought back.
X The person must be brought back on the day they died in order for this note to take effect.
X When the person is brought back, they lose all memory of ever dying. This is to prevent emotional or psychological trauma.
"'The person whose name is written in this note shall be brought back to life,' huh?" Sven pondered that idea for a moment, trying to figure out how to test it.
When Mr. Roberts suddenly leaned over his shoulder, Sven had his test subject. He took his $500 pen and stabbed his tutor in the neck, straight through his windpipe so he couldn't scream. Sven grabbed Mr. Roberts's wrist to keep track of his pulse. When it finally stopped, Sven wrote 'Jacob Roberts' in the notebook…
Unfortunately, he wrote it in the notebook with his translations. Idiot.
When nothing happened, Sven looked back down at the notebook and realized his mistake. He rewrote the name in the correct notebook…
And his slumped-over tutor perked back up, his neck completely healed, but his shirt still covered in his own blood.
"Wha-what's going on…? Why am I covered in blood?!" Mr. Roberts exclaimed.
"Don't worry, it's nothing. You just got a nosebleed," Sven said, wondering if it woul be okay if he killed the man again.
In the end, Roberts decided not to ask why he didn't remember a nosebleed.
After a minute's more thought, Sven stood up and grabbed the Life Note and his other notebook. "Fuck this shit, I need to plot," he said as he calmly walked out.
Mr. Roberts sighed to himself. "Here we go again…"
Sven tore through the piles of notebooks, workbooks, and textbooks that were scattered throughout his room. "Where did Uncle Teru's journal go?!"
"You mean this decrepit old thing?"
Sven turned around and saw some…thing standing in the corner of his bedroom, holding his Uncle Teru's journal. He blinked. It was still there. He closed his eyes for a longer time, opened them, and it was still standing there, staring at him. "What are you, and why do you have Uncle Teru's journal?"
The thing shrugged and said, "I'm Kennert, an inochigami. I have this journal because I got bored waiting for you to show up, and it reminded me of a story that's been floating around the Afterlife for a while not.
Sven waited for Kennert to elaborate, but when it didn't, he asked, "What story? And what does Uncle Teru and his journal have to do with it?"
"You mean you haven't hear the story about the idiot human that got his hands on a Death Note for a few years? Tried to 'change the world' or something. Anyway, some of the things in this--" Kennert held up the journal "--coincide with the later part of the story."
Sven's eyes lit up. "I knew it! Everyone else thought Uncle Teru was nuts, but I knew he wasn't crazy!"
"Oh, no, don't get me wrong, most of the humans involved in the story were quite crazy. Hell, the human who owned the Death Note was crazy enough to get killed by the shinigami that had been with him for six years. Teru Mikami supposedly worshipped that idiot, making him very crazy."
"Y'know what? I'm gonna bring back this Kira person back using the Life Note to prove that he was worth worshipping!" He snatched Teru's journal from the inochigami, and flipped through it until he came across a picture of a young man. The picture's caption read, 'Light Yagami - GOD"
